Question

Choose the appropriate synonym for the given word:

SKIP

a)Overlook
b)Introduce
c)Insert
d)notice

Answer 1

Hint: The word “skip” means to move lightly or quickly; or to make small jumps after each step.

Complete step-by-step answer:

 Option b “introduce” means to bring something into use for the first time or to make someone known by name to another person. This is not related to the word “skip”. Thus, option ‘b’ is incorrect.

Option c “insert” means to place something or put something into another thing. This is not similar in meaning to the word given to us. So, option ‘c’ is incorrect.

Option d “notice” means to pay attention to something one sees, hears, or sense. This is not similar in meaning to the given word and thus, option ‘d’ is incorrect.

Option a, “overlook” means to fail to notice or perceive something. This is similar in meaning to the given word and therefore, option ‘a’ is the correct answer.


Note: Overlook means to not notice something. This is the closest synonym of skip as when we fail to notice something, we automatically skip it.
